KIDS & JUNIOR PROGRAMS
Jiu-Jitsu for Kids is a powerful martial art that helps children grow physically, mentally, and socially. It’s especially popular because it focuses on technique and leverage rather than strength, making it ideal for children of all sizes.
What is Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art that teaches control and submissions (like joint locks and chokes) rather than striking. Kids learn how to protect themselves using holds, escapes, and takedowns in a safe, structured environment.
